This might not be a topic we usually dive into, but it’s one we can’t overlook if we’re truly supporting athletes in all aspects of their performance—gut upset during exercise. Yep, that uncomfortable urgency to poo mid-training or during an event.
It’s more common than you think, and it can really impact performance.
The good news? It’s something you can manage! With the right strategies, like training your gut, fine-tuning pre-event nutrition, and adjusting meal timing, you can tackle this issue head-on and prevent it from ruining your race or training sessions.
If you’ve ever been in the middle of a workout or race, only to be stopped by gut issues, you’re definitely not alone. In fact, studies show that many athletes face this challenge—sometimes, it’s more common than we realise!
For those who want a deeper dive, you can download our show notes for a complete summary of key takeaways or simply tune into our podcast for all the insights. Or, why not do both?
